Good luck! I'll be following along. I'm also doing a microstakes climb myself and it would be great to follow each other through the micros! I'm at 5NL right now and hope to climb to 10NL soon.

DAY 1:
pre session: $60
post session: $74

Funnily enough up exactly 7 buy ins at 2NL, couldn't play for long today only 2-3 hours so happy with my results- ran pretty well including flopping quad fives for a pot worth $2.20 total.

Frustrating to not be able to multi table as I play on phone due to the absence of my own computer/laptop, however playing rush and cash helps with not getting 'bored' and playing hands for the sake of it.

Satisfied with my strategy for the most part, a few tweaks/reviews and i'll look to continue profiting moving forward!

7 buy in session is huge, great start!

Do you plan to eventually play on computer? I imagine it's hard to track/review hands on your phone

Day2:
pre session: $74
post session: $96.20

A good few hours of play today, my strategy seems to be working nicely, didn't run the best today but made nice hands in a few spots and managed to add an extra 11 and a bit buy ins to the bankroll.

Courtesy of the $16 cash dollar reward from the gg cheers tourney that i didn't even get the chance to play lol, i cheekily went in to an NL10 rush and cash game with the 'free money' and managed to cash out for $16 so for sure today was boosted by this scenario!

Regardless, very happy with how i played, discipline still required in certain spots; for example my tendency to defend against 3 bets with middling hands against button/sb for example hands such as KJo and A8 suited that id opened from utg-co.

Adjusting to make sure my continuing range is much stronger, with my defending frequency desirable, as i'll be opening smaller (2-2.5X) from utg and Hj in 6 max w all hands to remain balanced.

Looking forward again to learning a lot and building up this bankroll!

Winning 11 buyins in one session is kind of insane when you think about it! I know it's 2NL so each buyin is only $2, but 11 buyins is a massive win, congrats! Hope you get to 5NL soon

At $100 i'll be moving up, taken a bit of a hit today been very undisciplined and tilted myself to entering 3-5 dollar spins as well as paying off when I know i'm beat.

On the brighter side, still more time to play today and also booked a £65 win playing a home game with my mates last night!

back , got a laptop now and multi tabling , bankroll is at $250 had to get a new account as i set the old one up when i was 17 lol. At 5NL going to 10NL at $300.
One thing, can't help but think it's sometimes rigged lol, some hands feel like set ups and I am constantly dodging bullets to lose the min haha.
Anyways, can't complain too much ive built up my roll decently so far but last couple days been running terrible lol.
I'll post charts soon.

bankroll: $520
will probably go to 25Nl when i'm at around the $900-$1000 mark
Still struggling with tilt haha but playing well when it matter i guess, rush and cash is definitely the meta, the volume you can get in is insane which all the more makes me rage due to seeing more insane hands lol.
last few days been running below ev, got money in good and just not held so unlucky but taking the close ev spots with hands that are starting to make up for the variance.
Gotta keep grinding, as gruelling as it may be sometimes I do love playing this game and that's probably why it makes me tilt lol.
Reviewing hand history and studying away from the tables is becoming key, a mix of that and playing max exploit makes you unbeatable at 10NL if you put in the volume, remember that.

worst session i've had so far, lost a 500bb pot w my KK cracked by QQ, lost a 440bb pot with AK when i tripled off on 87473 unblocking both missed flush draws got called by A8diamonds (4bet squeeze pot btw and he wasn't even the 3better he flatted the 3bet) and also lost a 280bb pot blind v blind 3 bet pot all in on the turn w A7clubs v QQ on 7734 2spades and got 2 outered as he chose to run it once.
All in all these 3 pots that should've been mine (certainly the KK and A7clubs) account for a $120 swing at 10NL which is crazy!
Not the best, so deciding to step back down to 5NL in order to not lose my mind if the downswing continues and to also help me play better as i will be less tilted.
Bankroll: $439

downswings happen, i understand it feel really bad right now, but try to see it as a chance to become stronger in the mental game.
also just close table and reopen it once you're > 150 BB. no need to play 500BB deep

we was 250deep it was 500bb pot, also playing deep is good for sure as long as you're on the right side of variance it's insanely profitable. i'm never sticking 250bb in w QQ but will happily with KK as he was a loose fish. Playing deep is for sure good in a weaker pool, you just need to know how to do it.

Which i admit I need to study more on, not sure still if my AK triple was good in theory.
